According to WHO ranking, Hong Kong residents are ranked #3 among 198 countries of the world in terms of Life Expectancy. Chinese are ranked above average at #95.

You are right. In fact, I think Hong Kong has actually overtaken Japan to become a district with the longest life expectancy in the world. WSJ's China bashers need to do better.

Tell the other Chinese to stop fleeing to America then!!! wrote:

Yes, The WHO also says China is number one for HIV and AIDS too, but for some reason the Chinese won't admit it! Choosing what to print, and what not to print by the Propaganda Department of China is clearly your biggest problem eh ASEAN?

Don't worry, only 6 people a minute are dying prematurely in China at this very moment because of air pollution in China. Add the others issues that kill prematurely in China like smoking cigarettes, drinking the tap water, or eating the poisoned food in China and you can keep dreaming about your onetime great ranking of a city with longest life expectancy!

Hit the streets HK, demand more from your Government. Your Government has turned on you turn on your Government.

The people of HK should sue the mainland CCP. Just don't dare cross over to the mainland because you'll end up beaten to a pulp, losing an eye and have acid thrown on your face

Hope it was worth it China!
